What are memory hard faults ?

Hello,

When i look at the system resources in use on my laptop I notice that there is a section which counts how many memory hard faults a second. As this figure changes constantly I am wondering if it means my memory strips are damaged?

A memory fault is when a process tries to access data that is not in memory and thus the OS has to fetch the page from your hard drive.
